Finishing up his first term as California's attorney general, Bill Lockyer is going through an election most politicians can only dream about.

He has nearly $8 million in his campaign coffers, dwarfing the $130,000 his Republican opponent, Dick Ackerman, has scraped together. He's avoided bad publicity and political scandal throughout his term. He's mustered unusual law enforcement support for a liberal to moderate Democrat, gaining endorsements from most of California's district attorneys, many of them Republicans. And the polls show him with a double-digit lead over Ackerman.

Lockyer defends his record, saying some of the investigations, such as Oracle, are complex and take time. He also insists that his lawsuits against energy providers will eventually pay off for taxpayers. As for allegations against Davis, Lockyer said his office has not been presented with evidence of criminal wrongdoing and ``we don't go on fishing expeditions.''

If he can't recognize corruption, then I guess he would make a good successor to Herr Davi$! Go Fish!!
